Get to know Djursland as a Christmas destination

Christmas is also spreading in Djursland - and perhaps especially in Djursland. The area is known for its beautiful holiday home areas along the many beaches and between cosy little towns that could almost be called tourist towns. The most well-known are Ebeltoft and Grenaa, which are visited by many Danish and foreign tourists every year. During the Christmas months, the towns are especially decorated and the Christmas spirit spreads everywhere. Christmas markets pop up among farm shops, breweries, coffee roasters, artisans and in the charming towns - both large and small.

Christmas attractions and experiences
Djursland is one of Denmark's most experience-dense areas, filled with attractions, zoos and museums. Many of them are also open during the festive season.
